SECOND CRoP GRaPEs.-Mr. Louis
Galatas, of jacksonville, sent us a
fine bunch Of grapes last Thursday.
which was from the second crop
of this years growth. They were
raised by MIR. John Blou. near
Nadisonville. He gathered fine
crop from his vines about the 10th
of July. and they bloomed again.
the grapes received by ne Thursday
being a sample OF the second crop,
gathered on the 18th of November.
1t has been frequently demon
strateG that our soil and climate is
peculiarly adapted to viniculture.
aud if the entire parish were con-
vorted into (: vast vineyard. it would
soon become one of the most pros
porous snd wealthy communities
IN the country. This result is be-
ing gradually attained, and our
grape growers are creasing their
acreage every year.
